New 356C Project

This isn't nearly as cool as the Speeder/Seahawk project, but I'm really pretty excited about it.

I trailered this numbers matching '65 C Coupe project home last week. This is a pretty ambitious project for someone like me to take on, but A LOT of the hard work was already done by the PO. Almost all of the parts have been prepped, powder coated and organized in boxes for final paint and reassembly by the PO. I'm pretty sure I have every part for this car stored in boxes.

The sheet metal was phosphate dipped so I can see everything that still needs to be cutout. Perfect doors, decklid, hood, roof, etc.. The car has never been hit hard or bent anywhere and the sheet metal is really better than I could have possibly hoped for in a project car at this price point. Rust pinholes and some of the minor patch work has already been done and then filled w/lead throughout. I still need to do what looks like some pretty straight forward work in the floors, battery box, nose, outer rockers, door latch posts, & engine bay. The nose may be a little tough, but anyway, you get the picture.

Time to go buy a welding machine, some books, some more tools, and some lead filler
